Newcastle United reportedly failed to land Tottenham flop Vincent Janssen on transfer deadline day, according to various reports.
The Sun (via the Chronicle Live) claimed that the Magpies missed out on swooping for the striker on 31st August as manager Rafael Benitez desperately tried to secure another goalscorer to add to his senior ranks.
The Spaniard was keen on luring Janssen to St.James' Park with the promise of regular first-team football, but the Netherlands international spurned Newcastle's advances and chose to move to Fenerbahce on a season-long loan deal instead.
Janssen endured a torrid 12-month stint at White Hart Lane following his £20m switch from AZ Alkmaar in July 2016, and managed to notch just six goals in 39 appearances for the Lilywhites during that time.
